Chapter Two: The Brethren
Richard Marsh was born into the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. He got out of the group he calls a cult and has made it his mission to expose the Brethren for their alleged abuses. Now he’s on the run from Brethren members who’ve been searching for him for years. The man hired to hunt Marsh down? David Wallace.

Chapter Three: The Trojan Horse
Thanks to David Wallace and Richard Marsh, the Klondike Papers blew up online - and nothing garnered more attention than Wallace’s claim that there was a plot to get rid of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Could it be true? Cherise and Jesse try to get to the bottom of what actually happened, and in doing so discover a complex network of Brethren business with extensive political connections around the globe.

Customer Reviews
Incredible podcast series
Another incredible investigation by the team at Canadaland. David Wallace is the Han Solo of political dirty tricks… a scoundrel with a social conscious. The team at Canadaland have done a great job of digging through Wallace’s records to tell a fully vetted story.
Great podcast series on the polite, public, face of Canadian corruption.
So good
